As of listing from January to May, Brandi Lauren (Skylar Storie) was second most improved in terms of squats and The Rock’s daughter Simone Johnson was on top of the list.
“Brandi Lauren [Skylar Storie], who actually, she’s only been with the company since October. She was, I think she was second when it came to most improved in squats, I mean I saw the listing from January to May. They must have been happy in terms of her taking training seriously.”
“Number one, by the way was Simone Johnson, the daughter of Dwayne. So, when you are most improved when it comes to lifting it does say that you’ve been working hard, which is a good thing. You know, it’s always viewed as a good thing. For someone who was just signed, I’m not sure what the story is there.” (H/T: Ringside News)
